Jamis bicycles has
a long history of innovating revolutionary bikes. This dates all the
way back
to 1979, when Jamis introduced the Earth Cruiser. The Earth Cruiser
helped to
spark the beach cruiser revolution which has been a part of beach-city
culture
ever since. This revolution hasn’t stopped, Jamis has merely shifted
focus to
other forms of two wheeled machines. Today Jamis develops and produces
top of
the line Road and Mountain bikes. Leveraging their 30+ years of
experience,
Jamis is able to craft Race driven performance, as well as high quality
trickle
down products for the average rider. Jamis has a goal to build the
perfect
bike, which might be an impossible goal, however to Jamis, it’s the
only one
worth doing.

The Dakar XCR 29
Pro is a race ready full suspension cross-country mountain bike, geared
to
deliver you to the top step of the podium. Most other factory race
bikes aim to
be either lightweight or stiff, whilethe
Dakar XCR 29 Pro accomplishes both. It starts by laying the foundation
with a full high modulus carbon frame, stays and bell crank, providing
core
stiffness and keeping weight to a bare minimum. The soul of the XCR 29
Pro is the
fully-active, sturdy mp4 XC suspension design, with travel narrowed
down to a firmly
sprung, hyper-efficient 100mm which delivers a slight rising leverage
rate in
the first 40% of travel and then is linear through the next 60mm of
travel to
enable a firm, responsive platform that keeps the rear tire planted for
enhanced pedal efficiency and grip. Up front the Dakar XCR 29 Pro is
equipped
with Rock Shox SID RL 29 with 100mm of travel that features low speed
compression to “locked” suspension.

With a SRAM S1400
crankset, PC-1051 chain and cassette, and PressFit 30 integrated bottom
bracket,
the drive train on this race horse is set up to make sure the jockey
has
maximum power transfer enabling rapid acceleration. The brain power of
the drivetrain comes from the SRAM X9 rear derailleur and X7 front derailleur,
which
provide optimum shifting efficiency for when the trail takes on a more
technical
form.

The Dakar XCR 29
Pro rolls on American Classic Tubeless 29 Disc wheels which are strong,
lightweight, and fast. Tubeless wheels mean two things, no tube weight,
and no
pinch flats! The beastly 15mm front thru axle and 12mm rear hub make
this
already stiff ride even stiffer. The fast paced pandemonium
of mountain bike
racing frequently calls for premium stopping power, which is why Jamis
went
with the Avid Elixir 5 hydraulic disc brakes.

The 17" feels a little smaller and not as stretched out as I expected with a cross country bike. But...

This bike just rolls faster on singletrack. The suspension lacks just a little bit when climbing compared to a hardtail. The bike has performed well on narrow singletrack (except for handlebar width, but that is easy to change), regular singletrack and dirt roads. The X9 performs fine on the shifting chores, the clutch keeps the bike quiet, and the maxlelite is much better than the old thin quick releases. Lastly, the American classic wheels with the geax tires are light and roll very efficiently.

-Doesn't get much better than this for a great quality full suspension carbon XC 29er and components at an excellent price. -Bought the bike about 6-7 mos. ago and haven't had any issues with me at 225 lbs. on mostly XC terrain. -Only issue I had is the bronze assembly from Jenson was not much of a tune up. Had many loose parts and issue with shifter line so had to get it tuned up locally. However, Jenson offered to reimburse me for the tune up. -My experience of the customer service from Jenson has been top notch.
